Bereaved Ryan O'Neal works out his grief following the death of Farrah Fawcett

Bereaved Ryan O'Neal hit the gym today to work out his grief following the death of his fiance Farrah Fawcett.

The 68-year-old actor was pictured attending a gym in Malibu wearing shorts and t-shirt and later emerged covered in sweat.

His work out comes the day before Farrah's funeral will be held. A private service is set to take place at the Catholic
cathedral Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon.

The Charlie's Angels actress died last week aged 62. She was first diagnosed with rectal cancer in 2006 and had surgery to remove
a tumour that year.

But a year later the cancer had returned and had spread to
her liver.

Long-term partner Ryan supported her throughout her cancer treatment, which she had
agreed to play out in front of the public in the filmed documentary
'Farrah's story'.

Speaking of his loss last week, Ryan said: 'After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away.

'Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take
comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the
knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the
world.'

Farrah and Ryan met in 1981 and had a son, Redmond, but never married. After separating in the 1990s, they were reunited and had intended to marry before her death.
